V Saved Up a Huge Sum of Money for the First Time in His Life Just to Buy a Surpriee Gift for This BTS Member

 

Currently, the members of BTS are all world-class K-pop Superstars with multimillion-dollar fortunes. As a result, there is almost nothing they want that they cannot but for themselves or gift to one another. The members have exchanged many luxurious items in the past, such as high-end bicycles, gold-plated toiled brushes, diamond rings, and more. 

Now they are so wealthy that even gifting each other an apartment would not be surprising if they wanted to! 

Materially valuable gifts are no longer a challenge for a member because they have become financially well-off. That's why J-Hope once said, "I gave a lot of presents back in the day, but honestly, our hearts are more important for birthdays than material things," while Jin shared that BTS had decided to stop giving each other birthday presents because it had become too difficult to think of what to buy.

However, that is the present—whereas years ago, buying expensive gifts for one another was not easy at all. Jimin once shared that before BTS debuted, the members had to pool their money together to buy him a bracelet for his birthday—a gift he would never forget.

Meanwhile, in the early years after their debut, V did something similar: he saved up a significant amount of money to buy Jimin the birthday gift he had always wanted. This happened around Jimin's 21st birthday, approximately in 2016.

When Jimin opened V's gift, it turned out to be a Gucci sweater worth about $1,100, leaving him extremely surprised. Upon realizing its value, he appeared a bit flustered and kept asking why, while the other members just as shocked, cheering in amazement. V immediately reassured Jimin by giving him a tight hug and sincerely saying, "I went through great lengths to get this for you."

I always get emotional whenever I remember that time in 2016 when Taehyung saved up and bought $1100 gucci sweater for Jimin’s 21st bday, this was when they weren’t so famous and rich back then and when he was asked why he did it, he replied “it’s for Jimin so its worth it” 😭 pic.twitter.com/hY4Q1SWTnL

Later on, a fan once asked V, "Taehyung oppa, you bought Jiminie oppa a really expensive gift—what were you thinking while buying it?" His answer made that moment even more memorable: "It's for Jimin, so it's definitely worth it."

At that time, BTS had only just begun to gain recognition following the success of "Fire" and "Blood, Sweat & Tears," which meant the members did have much money—in fact, they were not wealthy enough to easily afford such luxury items. Nevertheless, V did not hesitate to spend a large sum on that sweater simply because Jimin had once said he liked wearing Gucci.

V showed his sweet side and boundless care for his best friend. Beyond the thoughtful and meaningful gift, fans also praised V's great sense of style, as the sweater suited Jimin perfectly. On the other hand, V's actions also demonstrated early on that, among the BTS members, money has never been as important as their close friendship. Every time this story is brought up again, fans cannot help but feel deeply moved.
